Guys, how well would conte do in the euros?

I think they have a decent squad they will be hard to beat very solid defence veratti In my personal opinion the best centre mid in Europe highly under rated the Italians should be good be u never no what ul get from them.

I'm sure half of their first team is injured including veratti.
Let's hope they get knocked out early so conte can start at Chelsea :)

I selfishly would like to see them struggle as NW said so we can get him in sooner. That said the Italians are generally really good in tournaments (the past WC excluded) and the new format almost gauruntees them into the knockouts.

Seen this debate a few times but how many people would swap Costa for Griezmann if Griezmann turned down a new contract?

I think I would. I love Costa he's an absolute fighter but he's either injured or getting suspended and I'm not always sure he's happy here. Whereas in the past Griezmann has mentioned that he'd be interested in q potential move to Chelsea. If we did go two up top and sold Costa I wouldn't mind going for Morata as his replacement not scored a lot of goals but he hasn't played much and has great potential.

I would let Costa go if it meant getting Griezmann. Then I'd go for either Morata or Batshuayi as our new striker. Both are very well rounded.
While Morata hasn't posted the best stats, but I think he's a future star. Also he didn't always play as a pure striker, rotating with Mandzukic and Dybala as well. So either him or Batshuayi would be gold in my opinion.

Sadly I see none of this happening though.

I personally wouldn't swap the two. I love Diego and he's proven for 2 seasons now that he can do it in the prem. If he wanted to leave I wouldn't be against the swap though as Griezmann is a brilliant player. Would have to sign another proper striker though as you said.

For me that's a no brainer. Costa can be a huge liability and Griezman is world class. I'd go as far as offering a sizeable chunk of cash on top.

As others have said Costa is too much of a question mark between dicipline and injury. I'd personally prefer Lukaku to Morata/ Batshuayi but agree that they both will be very good in their own right.

Forster negotiating a new contract and supposedly Chelsea are interested - gets new contract; Griesmann negotiating new contract and his agent says they're open to all options; Willian wants new contract and supposedly Man U want him.

Read between the lines, people - who puts out these rumours and who benefits?
